Longevity, Epigenetics & the Science of Aging Well

What can some of the world’s longest-living communities teach us about aging well?

In this episode of Beneath the Label, Kathy sits down with Dr. Paul Cox, Director of the Institute for Ethnomedicine and member of Nu Skin’s Scientific Advisory Board, and Dr. Helen Knaggs, Nu Skin’s Vice President of Research and Development, for a fascinating conversation about longevity, healthspan, and the science of epigenetics.

Drawing on Dr. Cox’s experiences studying a long-lived community in Okinawa, Japan, they explore the everyday practices that may contribute to a longer, healthier life. From a nutrient-rich diet and regular movement to strong social connections, mental stimulation, and a sense of purpose, the conversation reveals how many different factors work together as we age.

Dr. Knaggs breaks down the difference between genetics and epigenetics, explaining how our environment and lifestyle can influence gene expression. The discussion also explores the exposome, the collection of environmental exposures and experiences that can affect our biology, and how Nu Skin’s research into aging response modulators and plant-based bioactives helps inform product development.

Together, they examine the role of antioxidants, nutrition, supplementation, and balance, while highlighting an important lesson from Okinawa: longevity is about more than adding years to life. It’s about preserving the ability to enjoy those years.

Tune in for an inspiring, science-filled conversation that offers a fresh perspective on aging and practical ideas for supporting a healthier life, at every stage.

What happens when beauty and nutrition work together?

In this episode of Beneath the Label, Kathy Schultz sits down with Tanner Gib to explore the complementary benefits of Beauty Focus Collagen+ and LifePak Elements and why the combination can be more powerful than focusing on either one alone.

They break down the science behind bioactive collagen peptides, including why the size and composition of collagen peptides matter when it comes to supporting collagen synthesis. They also explore the role of key nutrients in LifePak Elements, including vitamin C, B vitamins, and biotin, and how these nutrients support processes involved in skin, hair, and nail health.

The conversation also dives into the importance of building a strong nutritional foundation. LifePak Elements is designed to help fill common gaps in the diet with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, while Collagen+ provides targeted beauty support.

And there's another layer to the conversation: Prysm iO. Both products are discussed in the context of Prysm certification and measurable carotenoid levels, bringing together targeted beauty support, foundational nutrition, and a way to track nutritional health.

Tune in to understand the science behind the synergy and why what you put into your body can be an important part of the beauty-from-within conversation.
